The head unit is usually mounted to the place where there was a regular device that the manufacturer installed.

Android. Head device

Android developed for modern gadgets, tablets, and it is used even in some laptops. The head unit based on "Android" received the best features, functions and parameters. This technique has received a higher speed of work and is now able to compete with devices on Windows.

Established devices, as we have already explained, have many functions and necessary parameters. Consider them better.

Screen

The head unit on the "Android" has a resistive, but quite responsive screen. Like a tablet, you do not need to press it with great force. Also usually comes with a stylus. Most of these modern devices are covered with a matte film, due to which fingerprints become invisible. It should be noted that in the sun the screen is readable, though dull.

BLUETOOTH Hands Free

Native head unit on the "Android" can not work as a headset, because of this, you need to connect your phone. In this system only basic functions will work: take a call, dial a number, go to the list of dialed and missed calls. In some devices, you can go to the contact list and dial the number, respectively, when you call, you can see who is calling. You can also include music from your phone. Only Bluetooth allows you to work with other devices, but with their help you can not access the data of the car.

Rear View Camera

You can connect a rear-view camera to a standard device . This is an excellent feature, it can be used by anyone who does not have a built-in "native" screen. If you have one, you can not connect an additional camera.

DVR

The DVR can be either in the kit or separately. This is a good function, which will help you to prove your rightness on the road. You can install it either jointly with the GU or separately. If you choose the first option, it will be possible to watch the recorded videos from the screen. In this case, the quality will be poor, this is due to the fact that the signal passes through the analog port.

Video will be recorded on internal or external memory (up to 32 GB). To watch your videos, you need to go to a special program. On some standard devices, video is recorded in a non-standard format, so it may not work on the computer.

Unfortunately, the quality of the videos leaves much to be desired. When the weather is sunny, the quality of the video drops dramatically, and there are light shots. But still with its task DVR will cope.

Networking capabilities

The head unit on the "Android" usually has two USB-outputs. The first is useful to connect WiFi, and the second is necessary for 3G-modem. As a rule, WiFi is built into the device and works well. Perfect for surfing the Internet, the pages are loaded pretty quickly, the browser works smartly. But the 3G-modem will have to be bought separately.

Loading

The device is loaded quickly, usually this procedure takes up to 1 minute. A nice feature is that the device automatically downloads the last running application, but this only applies to "native" programs, third parties will not start.

Multitasking

The head unit has relatively simple multitasking. Embedded applications can be run in tandem with third-party applications. It will look like this: you connect the navigator and turn on the radio, they will work together. During the trip, you will play music, and you will be able to hear the navigator, but from time to time it will muffle the song.

Music and video player

The head unit has built-in players. But they do not always work adequately. Sometimes they can "vylazit" various errors or simply the device will not include ordinary music of the MP3 format. Films have the same problems, but most formats are reproduced. It is better to immediately install a good player, so that later you do not have unnecessary questions and do not have problems.

Navigation

Each regular device has a built-in navigation program. Usually they automatically update the maps and are quite comfortable.

Sound

Android multimedia headphones have an excellent sound. Most of these models have a clear and bright sound. This allows you to enjoy the music on the go.

It was all the built-in quality of standard devices on the "Android". Additional applications, the necessary programs can be installed from the GooglePlay service. All devices support external storage, so you can freely download all the necessary applications, movies, music, etc.
